Damascus Japanese Santoku Kitchen Knife 18cm Blade

Damascus Japanese Santoku Kitchen Knife 18cm Blade

Product number: 17740

If you prefer a short, flat blade for your kitchen prep work, rather than the curved blade of a chef’s knife, then this top-of-the-range Damascus 18cm Santoku Knife will be the one for you. Designed for slicing, dicing and mincing, the flat edge on this super-sharp knife suits a different chopping style to the rocking action of a chef’s knife but it’s just as versatile as a Western-style knife and just as comfortable to use as all the other knives in this premium range.

About Lakeland Damascus Knives

Sharpened using the same techniques as those used to make Samurai swords, Damascus knives undergo a process of lamination where the super-hard carbon steel core is layered with 67 coatings of stainless steel for a distinctive blade that is strong yet flexible with a superior cutting edge.

This multi-layering technique is believed to have been discovered in Damascus around 300BC – hence the name – eventually making its way east to be perfected by Japanese sword-smiths where the blade’s finish was aptly named ‘kasumi-nagashi’ or ‘floating mist’.

Full tang with an ice-tempered blade, each beautifully balanced knife also has a comfortable riveted wooden handle to give you excellent precision and control.
